garima khandelwal & akash das

Total Vote(s) : 144 | Total Testimonial(s) : 9

HI, we are Garima and Akash from Mumbai, advertising art directors and (what may sound like a cliche in this forum) avid and passionate travelers. Akash is a Bengali bred in Punjab, while am a Delhi bred born in Calcutta. We met in 2000 at Ogilvy, Delhi. Married in 2005, and now settled in Mumbai. Akash loves to click pictures, ride, drive, play the guitar, cook, make furniture. I love to read, watch movies and plan itineraries. And what binds us together is the inherent will to travel, and see more. Akash currently works at Ambience Publicis as senior creative director while am on a break. My last job stint was in Prague where i worked for a little over a year. Since ive been back, most people know us as the "ones who were stuck at the Taj on 26/11".

Our Travelogue

We have travelled extensively in india and abroad since the last decade. The high points of our travels would be The Thikse monastry in the outskirts of Leh. Jumping in the sea off the cliff in Cinque Terra, Italy. The first time we saw the Eiffel sparkle. The Star Trek like landscape of Cappodocia, Turkey. The pebbled streets of fairy tale town called Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic. Cycling on the streets of Fort Kochi. The view of The Sistine chapel, Vatican. Getting lost in The Holocaust Memorial, Berlin. The crunching autumn leaves with every step in Budapest. A swim in the Kamshet Lake on a hot summer day. New Year's eve in Pushkar. The bus ride from Nice to Monaco. A 200 year old cemetery in the heart of Calcutta. The bone church at Kutna Hora, Czech Republic. I'll stop now, and let the pictures talk.

Testimonials

Hemant

One of the strongest things that binds these two together is a sense of adventure. They go where their heart takes them and there is no place their heart can't take them. I would be very surprised if they do not win this. Go! go! Go!

Kartik

The best thing I can say about Akash and Garima is they will always take the road not taken. (It makes for far better pictures.) I can't wait to see what they come back with.

Vivek Rao

I can't think of too many people who love the outdoors and embrace adventure like Akash and Garima. Even if it's just for a day, you'll find the two of them whisk out of town to discover a new place. So do I think they're gonna win? Hell Yeah!!!

Rishabh

(Let's assume they lose:) Akash: Garima, haar gaye yaar. Garima: Damn... Akash: Chalo aao khaana kha lein Garima: Theek hai... (Both of them eating slowly) Garima: AAAKAAAASH! I HAVE AN IDEAAAAAAA! Akash: Bolo na Garima: WHO CARES ABOUT THE COMPETITION!! PETROL TOH HAMAARI GAADI MEIN BHI HAI.. LET'S GO ANYWAY AKKKUUUUU Akash: Wah! Theek hai... tum phataak se bag baandho, main gaadi pe kapda maarta huun...

Rahul Jauhari

This is one truly adventure loving couple. Go for it guys, may the force be with you :-)

mayuresh wagle

Akash is so fanatic about travelling that every 15 days he 'hears' the mountains calling out to him. I sincerely hope he wins becoz this is one person who belongs to the great outdoors and not to the office cubicle.

natasha

I'm secretly jealous of them, coz they are always taking the trips everyone else only talks about. So I really think they deserve to be doing this because they are travel rock stars already and are perfect for it.

Roohshad Garda

So im taking part in the contest too, and happened to chance on your profile from another persons wall on fb, LOVE the pictures in your flkr and so i had to vote! Your tones are smack bang right on man. respect. Best of luck you two... and you have my vote, see you in the race. xo

ashish khazanchi

if there's a couple that LIVES to travel then this one is it. They'd travel to far corners of the earth (and india), infested with mosquitoes and crocodiles and come back excited as small kids. Akash can play some mean six-string as well, probably the only reason garima has been putting up with his noisy guffaws on jokes of zero consequence. My vote to them as the coolest couple on the block.
